an image or record produced on exposed or processed film by radiography.

panoramic radiograph a type of extraoral body-section radiograph on which the entire maxilla or mandible can be depicted on a single film.

On the basis of our study, it seems not indicated to supplement the periapical radiograph with one or more eccentric projections deviating 10 degrees from the orthogonal plane - and as a consequence inflict increased radiation doses to the patient and additional costs - when the clinician wish to control the cleaning of a root canal in retreatment of single-canal teeth.

The patients whose cases were defined as positive by the two examiners (Figure 1) were asked to undergo a modified anterior-posterior (AP) radiograph (with chin elevated) (Figure 2) in order to confirm or refute the suggested findings on the panoramic radiograph.
